Site Update...

Aptekar kept me away from Salvation Home today...he decided that since I am feeling better it is best for me to get 100% before I head out to the streets...i agree its a good idea, but man was I bummed! The nice thing is that I have been totally torn between working at the clinic on campus and working with street kids so Aptekar sent me to the clinic today...
The only issue is that there is a conference in town right now so the Clinic has a booth set up there answering questions and handing out information. I was in heaven! I spent some time explaining American attitudes towards HIV/AIDS and then learning a lot about African Culture surrounding the disease. I was really in my element and loved it. I would definitely stay there if I didnt feel like seriously pushing myself to get the most out of this experience. HIV/AIDS in something that I am comfortable with and I understand a lot about, street kids in something entirely different. So I was super bummed when Aptekar pulled the plug, but I get to start back up on Monday at Salvation Home and then maybe take a day next week and go into the clinic to do pre/post HIV testing counseling...I'm sensing a career change :)
We will see. Tomorrow morning we are all headed out to Victoria Falls! This is going to be amazing! We are taking a elephant ride to see some animals (AHHHH I CANT WAIT!!!!)
ok I probably wont post until after Victoria Falls...
